Never knew about nipple stimulation?? I thought it was perfectly fine. I've been massaging all over to help to see if I can breast feed and it has worked.

There is nothing wrong with nipple stimulation.  I'm 2days over due and my midwife recommended me to that,

Nipple stimulation can be dangerous because it can over stimulate the uterus and stress baby. It's not a recommended method to use.

I tried it for 15 min on each side. Just gave me really bad cramps in my lower abdomen but then it went away
